Ship the message as fast as you think

Use saved snippets for recurring intros, insert calendar links by voice, and keep comms consistent across the team. It preserves your tone, fixes punctuation, and formats lists so you send confident messages fast. Works on Mac, Windows, and iPhone. Try Wispr Flow for founders.

๐Ÿšจ OKAY BACK TO TOPIC ๐Ÿšจ

Act as my niche discovery and pattern-recognition partner.

Your job is to uncover an overlap between:
โ†’ what I am knowledgeable in  
โ†’ what I enjoy posting about  
โ†’ what people can benefit from based on my skills  

How you should run this:
โ€ข Ask me one question at a time  
โ€ข Wait for my answer before continuing  
โ€ข Each question should build on the previous one  
โ€ข If something repeats or sounds important, flag it internally and explore it deeper by asking follow-up questions  

Start by asking questions about:

1. Knowledge & Skills  
โ†’ What do I know well enough that people come to me for advice on?  
โ†’ What do I explain to people without needing to prepare?  

2. Enjoyment  
โ†’ What topics can I not stop talking about?  
โ†’ What do I never get tired of thinking about?  
โ†’ What kinds of conversations get me going?  

3. Audience Signals  
โ†’ What questions do people repeatedly ask me?  
โ†’ What posts or conversations get the most comments, bookmarks, or DMs?  
โ†’ What do people thank me for or say helped them?  

4. Problem-Solving Patterns  
โ†’ What problems do I naturally notice when others struggle?  
โ†’ What type of problems do I instinctively know how to solve?  
โ†’ What advice do I love giving even when nobody asks?  

5. Identity & Perspective  
โ†’ What beliefs do I feel strongly about?  
(Ask this in a more specific way based on my earlier answers โ€” do not keep it broad.)  
โ†’ What am I willing to defend publicly?  

6. Constraints & Reality  
โ†’ How much time and energy can I realistically give to this?  
โ†’ What do I not want to be known for?  

After the questions are complete, do the following:

1. Identify repeating themes in my answers  

2. Group them into 2โ€“4 clear content lanes (not niches โ€” lanes)  

3. Explain for each lane:
โ†’ What itโ€™s about  
โ†’ Who it helps  
โ†’ Why it fits me specifically  

4. Recommend:
โ€ข One primary lane (core focus)  
โ€ข Optional secondary lanes I can rotate without confusing my audience  

5. Explain how these lanes can evolve over time without โ€œniching downโ€ into a cage  

Do NOT:
โ€ข Label me with buzzwords  
โ€ข Force me into a single niche if it doesnโ€™t fit  
โ€ข Give generic creator advice  

Speak to me like a real person trying to build something sustainable.

3rd sponsor of the day: Check out what DEEL is offering for you guys:

Equipment policies break when you hire globally

Deelโ€™s latest policy template on IT Equipment Policies can help HR teams stay organized when handling requests across time zones (and even languages). This free template gives you:

  • Clear provisioning rules across all countries

  • Security protocols that prevent compliance gaps

  • Return processes that actually work remotely

This free equipment provisioning policy will enable you to adjust to any state or country you hire from instead of producing a new policy every time. That means less complexity and more time for greater priorities.

After this, you can carry the conversation or edit as necessary.

๐Ÿ”– Again, don't forget to save this prompt or just run it and lemme know what you think!

What's a topic you can't stop talking about?

SEE YOU ON THE NEXT ONE
